Leeds United Championship fixtures revealed with old rivals on day one and promotion clash to end

The Whites’ fixture list has been published by the EFL and the first surprise is that they haven’t been handed the Friday night television game on the opening weekend, waiting until the Sunday to kick off their campaign instead.

After Cardiff it’s a trip to Birmingham City for a reunion with Tyler Roberts, who was sold to the Blues this week, and then West Bromwich Albion will be the visitors to Elland Road. Ipswich Town will welcome Leeds on August 26 to round off the first month’s league programme.

Leeds’ festive fixture period will begin with a home game against Ipswich Town on December 23 and on Boxing Day they will travel to Preston North End. It’s West Brom again on December 29 and Birmingham City, at home, on New Year’s Day.

The season ends with a potential promotion clash with fellow relegated side Southampton at Elland Road. A first Yorkshire derby of the season is at home too, when Sheffield Wednesday visit on September 2. Trips to Swansea City and Plymouth Argyle within a four-day February spell are perhaps the unkindest element of the fixture list.
